PUZZLE OR TOY LOCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,447, dated August 23, 1898.

Application filed December 13, 1897- Serial No. 661,740. (No model.)

To all whont it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN R. LYNN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city I and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Puzzle or Toy Lock, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a puzzle or toy made to resemble the dial of a combination-lock and provided with a block or seat to which the dial is detachably affixed by means of a bolt, the object being to place the dial in such position as to unlock and separate it from the block.

It further consists of the combination of parts hereinafter set forth.

Figure Us a vertical sectional view of the entire lock, showing the bolt extending within the recess in the spindle of the disk. Fig. 2 is a sectional View of entire lock, showing the bolt dropped to within aperture in the under side of disk; Fig. 3, a side elevation of dial and spindle. Fig.4 is an under side elevation of disk, and Fig. 5 a top view of seat for disk.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

a, Fig. 4, is a disk'having a recess (1 in its under side, and b is a spindle having an annular recess 0 running around its periphery. c, Fig. 5, is a block having a bore f, adapted to spindle of disk, and also a bore g, opening into and extending obliquely from the bore f. h is a bolt adapted to slide within bore g and extend within recess 0 and engage with base of dial. As shown in Fig. 1, the bolt has slid into the recess a, and thus prevents the removal of the disk.

As shown in Fig. 2, the position of the block having been changed and the dial being in such a position as to bring the recess 61 in juxtaposition with the bore g, the bolt h has entered the recess 61, thus releasing the spindle and disk, which may now be removed from the block 6.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

. 1. In a puzzle or toy lock the combination of a disk having a recess in its under side, a spindle having an annular recess running around its periphery and a block or seat having a bore to receive spindle, with a bore opening into and extending obliquely from the spindle-bore and containing a bolt of length sufficient to project within recess in spindle and extend to and contact with under side of disk.

2. In a puzzle or toy lock the combination of a graduated disk having an aperture in its under side and a spindle having an annular recess running around its peripherywith a block or seat having a bore f adapted to said spindle and a bore 9 opening into and extending obliquely from the said bore containing a bolt adapted to slide within, said bolt being of length sufficient to project within recess in periphery of spindle and extend to and engage with under side of disk.

3. In a puzzle or toy lock the combination of a block or seat having a bore f adapted to a spindle, abore opening into and extending obliquely from the said bore and containing a bolt adapted to slide therein with a disk having an aperture in its under side adapted JOHN R. LYNN.
